细胞外钙调素对烟草悬浮培养细胞蛋白质磷酸化作用的影响

用液体闪烁计数法研究了细胞外钙调素对烟草悬浮培养细胞质蛋白质磷酸化的作用。结果表明：烟草细胞细胞质蛋白质磷酸化活性在细胞培养过程中逐渐增加,达到最高峰后又开始下降。在细胞质蛋白质磷酸化强度高峰时,加入抗CaM血清后,细胞质蛋白质磷酸化活性受到了部分抑制。加抗CaM血清后再补加CaM能够部分解除抗CaM血清对细胞质部分与细胞核部分蛋白质磷酸化的抑制作用。外加纯化钙调素可以引起烟草悬浮培养细胞细胞质蛋白质磷酸化的活性增强,并且这种增强作用具有时间（高峰为70min）与剂量（最适为CaM10^-7mmol/L）依赖性。CaM引起的细胞质蛋白质磷酸化变化与红光所引起的细胞质蛋白质磷酸化变化在时间进程上是不相同的。

钙调素对花粉萌发和花粉管生长的效应

牛脑和玉米胚ＣａＭ能显著促进花粉萌发和花粉管生长（图１）,而ＣａＭ抑制剂ＴＦＰ、ＣＰＺ及另外两个专一性更强的抑制剂Ｃｏｍｐｏｕｎｄ４８／８０和Ｗ７均严重抑制甚至阻止花粉的萌发（图２,３）。用对ＣａＭ亲和性较低的Ｗ７同系物Ｗ５,在与Ｗ７同样浓度下,对花粉萌发和花粉管生长无明显影响。此外,Ｗ７对花粉萌发和花粉管生长的抑制效应可被外源ＣａＭ所消除（图４）。在花粉萌发过程中,其内源ＣａＭ含量显著上升,在花粉萌发率接近最大值时,花粉ＣａＭ含量达最高水平（图５）。上述结果表明ＣａＭ对花粉萌发和花粉管生长的调控起重要作用。

不同能量的培养条件对人神经母细胞瘤株SH-SY5Y细胞生长的影响

目的建立热量限制的体外模型,观察不同能量培养条件下对人神经母细胞瘤细胞株SH-SY5Y细胞生长代谢的影响。方法将人神经母细胞瘤细胞株SH-SY5Y细胞分别采用含有低浓度（2 g/L）、正常浓度（3.15g/L）或高浓度（4.5 g/L）葡萄糖的培养基进行常规传代培养,利用MTT代谢率、细胞生长曲线及LDH漏出率等指标观察各组细胞生长情况。结果与正常葡萄糖浓度培养条件下培养的对照组相比,高糖组细胞突起缩短,细胞胞体皱缩,MTT代谢率稍低（0.573±0.001）,LDH漏出率高,细胞生长状态差;与对照组相比,低糖组细胞突起伸展,MTT代谢率较低（0.428±0.003）,LDH漏出率低,细胞生长速度缓慢,但是形态良好。结论高糖培养对细胞有损伤作用,细胞代谢加速,更容易衰老死亡;而低糖培养起到保护作用,在热量限制允许范围内降低培养液的含糖量,不但不会对细胞造成损伤,反而对细胞的代谢及生长起到保护作用,延长细胞的总体寿命。     

Calmodulin Regulates Ca2+-sensing Receptor-mediated Ca2+ Signaling and Its Cell Surface Expression

The Ca²⁺-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a member of family C of the GPCRs responsible for sensing extracellular Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺]_o) levels, maintaining extracellular Ca²⁺ homeostasis, and transducing Ca²⁺ signaling from the extracellular milieu to the intracellular environment. In the present study, we have demonstrated a Ca²⁺-dependent, stoichiometric interaction between CaM and a CaM-binding domain (CaMBD) located within the C terminus of CaSR (residues 871–898). Our studies suggest a wrapping around 1–14-like mode of interaction that involves global conformational changes in both lobes of CaM with concomitant formation of a helical structure in the CaMBD. More importantly, the Ca²⁺-dependent association between CaM and the C terminus of CaSR is critical for maintaining proper responsiveness of intracellular Ca²⁺ responses to changes in extracellular Ca²⁺ and regulating cell surface expression of the receptor.     

Adrenal Chromaffin Cell Calmodulin: Its Subcellular Distribution and Binding to Chromaffin Granule Membrane Proteins

Bovine adrenal medullae were homogenized in the presence or in the absence of EGTA and different subcellular fractions were prepared by differential and density gradient centrifugations. In the presence of the chelating agent, 69% of the total calmodulin, measured by radioimmunoassay, was present in the cytosol; the rest was bound to different membrane-containing fractions (nuclei, microsomal, and crude granule fraction). When the chelating agent was omitted, 43% of the calmodulin was present in the cytosol, the remaining calmodulin being membrane-bound. Further resolution of the crude granule fraction by sucrose density centrifugation demonstrated that the distribution of calmodulin in the density gradient was similar to the distribution of chromaffin granules rather than to that of mitochondria, Golgi elements, and lysosomes. In this case, there was also more calmodulin bound to chromaffin granules when EGTA was omitted from the density gradient. Experiments with 125I-calmodulin indicated the presence of high-affinity binding sites (KD = 1.3 X 10(-8) M; Bmax = 30 pmol/mg protein) for calmodulin in chromaffin granule membranes. Further, photoaffinity crosslinking experiments with 125I-calmodulin followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography indicated the presence of three calmodulin-binding polypeptide complexes (84,000; 41,000; and 38,000 daltons) in chromaffin granule membranes. These polypeptides were not labelled when either Ca2+ was omitted or an excess of nonradioactive calmodulin was present in the photolysis buffer, indicating the Ca2+ dependency and the specificity of the interaction. On the basis of the results described, it is suggested that the cellular levels of Ca2+ control the cellular distribution of calmodulin and its binding to specific chromaffin granule membrane proteins. Further, it is also suggested that the interactions between calmodulin and granule proteins might play a role in stimulus-secretion coupling.

Effects of Aging and Morphine Administration on Calmodulin and Calmodulin-Regulated Enzymes in Striata of Mice

Male ICR mice, young (25-days old), mature (3-months old), and old (22 months), were injected with morphine sulfate (10 mg/kg, s.c.) or were implanted with morphine pellets (75 mg). Controls received saline injections or placebo pellets. One hour after injections and 72 h after pellet implantations, the mice were decapitated and striatal regions were removed for the following analyses: calmodulin (CaM) levels via radioimmunoassay and activities of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, adenylate and guanylate cyclases, and Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase. Acute morphine treatment produced the following: (1) increases in calmodulin levels in the young and old mice while having no effect on mature levels; (2) increases in activities of guanylate cyclase of mature mice while decreasing those of the old mice; (3) no effects on activity of adenylate cyclase; (4) decreased activity of cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase in young mice only; (5) decreased activity of Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase in the old mice only. The only changes found in striata from morphine-tolerant mice when compared with age-matched controls were elevations in cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase activities in all three age groups. Differences in control values of the three age groups were as follows: CaM levels, mature greater than old greater than young; Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase activity, old greater than mature-young. The results indicate age-induced changes in cellular regulation and biochemical responses to morphine.

Evidence for a Role of Calmodulin in Calcium-Induced Noradrenaline Release from Permeated Synaptosomes: Effects of Calmodulin Antibodies and Antagonists

Abstract: The nervous tissue-specific protein B-50 (GAP-43), which has been implicated in the regulation of neurotransmitter release, is a member of a family of atypical calmodulin-binding proteins. To investigate to what extent calmodulin and the interaction between B-50 and calmodulin are involved in the mechanism of Ca²⁺-induced noradrenaline release, we introduced polyclonal anti-calmodulin antibodies, calmodulin, and the calmodulin antagonists trifluoperazine, W-7, calmidazolium, and polymyxin B into streptolysin-O-permeated synaptosomes prepared from rat cerebral cortex. Anti-calmodulin antibodies, which inhibited Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II autophosphorylation and calcineurin phosphatase activity, decreased Ca²⁺-induced noradrenaline release from permeated synaptosomes. Exogenous calmodulin failed to modulate release, indicating that if calmodulin is required for vesicle fusion it is still present in sufficient amounts in permeated synaptosomes. Although trifluoperazine, W-7, and calmidazolium inhibited Ca²⁺-induced release, they also strongly increased basal release. Polymyxin B potently inhibited Ca²⁺-induced noradrenaline release without affecting basal release. It is interesting that polymyxin B was also the only antagonist affecting the interaction between B-50 and calmodulin, thus lending further support to the hypothesis that B-50 serves as a local Ca²⁺-sensitive calmodulin store underneath the plasma membrane in the mechanism of neurotransmitter release. We conclude that calmodulin plays an important role in vesicular noradrenaline release, probably by activating Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent enzymes involved in the regulation of one or more steps in the release mechanism.     

外源钙调蛋白对植物细胞分裂增殖作用的研究

外源钙调蛋白（Ｃａｌｍｏｄｕｌｉｎ,ＣａＭ）对胡萝卜悬浮细胞增殖具明显促进作用,不同浓度ＣａＭ的促进程度不同,７ｕｇ／ｍｌ时促进作用最大。ＣａＭ抑制剂ＴＦＰ（Ｔｒｉｆｌｕｏｐｅｒ－ａｚｉｎｅ）则明显抑制该悬浮细胞的增殖,ＴＦＰ浓度越高则抑制作用越强。另外,外源ＣａＭ可以加快珍珠梅花粉第二次有丝分裂,改变生殖细胞有丝分裂各期花粉管的比例,说明外源ＣａＭ对植物体细胞和性细胞的增殖和分裂均有促进作用。
